Firstly, vasoconstriction, secondly platelet plug formation lastly ​ ​ ​ ​ blood clotting (coagulation cascade) ​ ​ Platelets: - Produced in the Bone Marrow by fragmentation of the cytoplasm of ​ ​ megakaryocytes. ​ -Each megakaryocyte form 1000 to 5000 platelets. ​ ​ -Time interval from differentiation of the human stem cell to the production of platelets ( ~ 10 days ) -Thrombopoietin → the major regulator of platelets production via ​ ​ c-MPL receptor1 (thrombopoietin is produced by liver (95%) & kidney) ​ ​ -Normal platelets counts ( 150 – 400 x 10⁹ ) -Platelets life span ( 7 – 10 days ) ​ ​ Platelets ultrastructure: Extremely small & discoid (3 x 0.5 µm in diameter) ​ Contains 3 types of storage granules: α Granules Dense Granules ( δ Granules ) Lysosomes Clotting Factors ADP & ATP Hydrolytic enzymes VWF (von willebrand factor) Serotonin ​ PDGF2 Histamine IGF13 Ionized Ca Platelets Functions: 1-Adhesion ( Platelets stick to the vessel Wall ) ​ ​ -Adhesion is through attachment of GP Ib-IX-V4 to VWF ​ ​ -VWF is synthesized in endothelial cells & megakaryocytes -VWF is stored in storage granules of endothelial cells & α granules of Platelets -VWF Rises with stress, exercise, adrenaline, infusion of DDAVP (desmopressin) 2-Aggregation ( cross linking of Platelets, platelets stick together ) ​ ​ -Aggregation is through attachment of GP IIb/IIIa receptors (found on ​ ​ platelets’ surface) to VWF and Fibrinogen (mainly fibrinogen) ​ ​ ​ 3-Release Reaction & Amplification ( aggregation formation & stabilization ) ​ ​ -Primary activation by various agonists induces intracellular signaling leading to release of α granules ​ ​ contents (platelets aggregation and stabilization), & ADP (platelets activation) from dense granules ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 Thrombopoietin receptor 2 Platelet derived growth factor 3 Insulin like growth factor 4 The GPIb-IX-V complex is a membrane receptor complex present on the platelet surface. ​ ​ ​ -Formation of Thromboxane A2 by various agonists induces intracellular signaling (potentiates platelets ​ aggregation and causes powerful vasoconstriction). ​ *normally the platelets don’t adhere to the endothelium but when there is injury in the endothelium the circulating vWf will attach to subendothelial collagen on one side, and to GP Ib of platelets on the other side. this binding will ​ ​ activate the platelets. When the platelets are activated, they change in shape and receptor becomes activated *normally it is inactive*. Follows that degranulation of platelets’ granules → fibrinogen, vWF, serotonin (which causes vasoconstriction), ADP (important for platelets activation and aggregation) and Ca ( needed in the secondary hemostasis ‘coagulation’). The activated platelets also secretes thromboxane A2 which activates further platelets and causes vasoconstriction. lastly, platelets aggregation mediated by GPIIb/IIIa receptor when it binds to fibrinogen. Many GP IIb/IIIa receptors will attach to single fibrinogen and this what makes platelet plug. Platelets Inhibitors: ● Prostacyclin (PGI₂) -Synthesized by vascular endothelial cells -Potent inhibitor of Platelets aggregation & causes vasodilation by rising cAMP ​ ​ ​ ​ -Prevents Platelets adhesion to normal vascular endothelium ​ ​ ● Nitric Oxide (NO) -Released from endothelial cells, macrophages, & Platelets -Inhibit Platelets activation & promotes vasodilation ​ ​ ​ Coagulation cascade: Intrinsic pathway: We start by factor 12 which activates factor 11. Factor 11 will activate factor 9. Factor 9 in the presence of factor 8 will activate factor 10. Extrinsic pathway: We start by factor 3 (tissue factor) that activates factor 7. Factor 7 activates factor 10 Common pathway: Starting by factor 10 that activates factor 2 (prothrombin) in the presence of factor 5. Prothrombin will activates factor 1 (fibrinogen to fibrin). -Extrinsic pathway is what gets activated in times of injury. but its activation is not sufficient and we need the intrinsic pathway but how the intrinsic pathway gets activated? when factor 7 activates factor 10 and factor 10 activates prothrombin to thrombin, thrombin will activate intrinsic pathway (thrombin activates factor 5,7,8,11,13). Factor 7 also ​ activates factor 9 -The whole idea of coagulation cascade is to generate fibrin, once we ​ ​ generate fibrin we need to cross-link fibrin molecules to stabilize ​ platelet plug in order to form clot, and how this happens? by factor 13, ​ ​ ​ ​ factor 13 enables formation of fibrin mesh ‘clot stabilization’. ​In factor 13 deficiency (rare bleeding disorder) we give them fresh frozen plasma because we don't have it concentrated. -Thrombin is responsible for multiple negative feedback loops that help to control coagulation. one of them is by activating plasminogen to plasmin that breaks fibrin mesh. Thrombin also activates antithrombin that blocks further activation of thrombin and factor 10. At the end of this phase (coagulation ​ cascade) fibrinolysis phase follows. ​ ​ So in summary: Hemostatic Phases 1.Vascular Phase 2.Platelet Phase 3.Plasma Coagulation 4.Fibrinolysis Phase Phase -Release of locally Platelets Adhesion & -Propagation of the -Termination of clotting active vasoactive Aggregation (via VWF, clotting process by the by antithrombotic control ​ ​ agents (Endothelin, ADP, TXA2) coagulation cascade of mechanisms & removal Thromboxane A2, -Formation of Platelet coagulation factors. of the clot ​ Fibrinopeptides).

Z. Wadia2, Dr Priyanka Lad1 1Resident Doctor, Department of Internal Medicine, Government Medical College, Surat 2Additional Professor, Department of Internal Medicine, Government Medical College, Surat Corresponding Author: Dr Sabarish Mahalingam ABSTRACT Evans syndrome is a rare disorder in which the body’s immune system produces antibodies that mistakenly destroy red blood cells, platelets and sometimes certain white blood cell known as neutrophils. It is one of the rare presenting features of autoimmune disorders, especially systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and sometimes may even precede the onset of disease. Primary Evans syndrome with no cause is very rare and is seen in children. Here, we describe a case of secondary Evans syndrome with severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia leading to acute kidney injury. This is one of the rare presentations of SLE and there are only few case reports. Key word: Evans syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune haemolytic anaemia.

In this retrospective study, we aimed to investigate the clinical and diagnostic relevance of SPS in 208 patients with infertility and unexplained pregnancy loss history. We studied 208 patients that had been referred to undergo a dose-dependent platelet aggregation response to adenosine diphosphate and epinephrine using light transmission aggregometry modified by Mammen during an 11-year period. Patients’ platelet aggregation response was compared with platelet function in 29 female healthy controls of fertile age with no previous history of pregnancy loss.

  • MYH9-Related Platelet Disorders
    Reprinted with permission from Thieme Medical Publishers (Semin Thromb Hemost 2009;35:189-203) Homepage at www.thieme.com MYH9-Related Platelet Disorders Karina Althaus, M.D.,1 and Andreas Greinacher, M.D.1 ABSTRACT Myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9)-related platelet disorders belong to the group of inherited thrombocytopenias. The MYH9 gene encodes the nonmuscle myosin heavy chain IIA (NMMHC-IIA), a cytoskeletal contractile protein. Several mutations in the MYH9 gene lead to premature release of platelets from the bone marrow, macro- thrombocytopenia, and cytoplasmic inclusion bodies within leukocytes. Four overlapping syndromes, known as May-Hegglin anomaly, Epstein syndrome, Fechtner syndrome, and Sebastian platelet syndrome, describe different clinical manifestations of MYH9 gene mutations. Macrothrombocytopenia is present in all affected individuals, whereas only some develop additional clinical manifestations such as renal failure, hearing loss, and presenile cataracts. The bleeding tendency is usually moderate, with menorrhagia and easy bruising being most frequent. The biggest risk for the individual is inappropriate treatment due to misdiagnosis of chronic autoimmune thrombocytopenia. To date, 31 mutations of the MYH9 gene leading to macrothrombocytopenia have been identified, of which the upstream mutations up to amino acid 1400 are more likely associated with syndromic manifestations than the downstream mutations. This review provides a short history of MYH9-related disorders, summarizes the clinical and laboratory character- istics, describes a diagnostic algorithm, presents recent results of animal models, and discusses aspects of therapeutic management. KEYWORDS: MYH9 gene, nonmuscle myosin IIA, May-Hegglin anomaly, Epstein syndrome, Fechtner syndrome, Sebastian platelet syndrome, macrothrombocytopenia The correct diagnosis of hereditary chronic as isolated platelet count reductions or as part of thrombocytopenias is important for planning appropri- more complex clinical syndromes.

  • Sticky Platelet Syndrome
    SEMINARS IN THROMBOSIS AND HEMOSTASIS—VOL. 25, NO. 4, 1999 Sticky Platelet Syndrome EBERHARD F. MAMMEN, M.D. ABSTRACT The sticky platelet syndrome (SPS) is an autosomal dominant platelet disorder associated with arterial and venous thromboembolic events. It is characterized by hyperaggregability of platelets in platelet-rich plasma with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and epinephrine (type I), epinephrine alone (type II), or ADP alone (type III). Clinically, patients may present with angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarc• tion (MI), transient cerebral ischemic attacks, stroke, retinal thrombosis, peripheral arterial thrombosis, and venous thrombosis, frequently recurrent under oral anticoagulant therapy. Clinical symptoms, espe• cially arterial, often present following emotional stress. Combinations of SPS with other congenital throm- bophilic defects have been described. Low-dose aspirin treatment (80 to 100 mg) ameliorates the clinical symptoms and normalizes hyperaggregability. The precise etiology of this defect is at present not known, but receptors on the platelet surface may be involved. Normal levels of platelet factor 4 (PF4) and p-throm- boglobulin in plasma suggest that the platelets are not activated at all times; they appear to become hyper• active upon ADP or adrenaline release. In vivo clumping could temporarily or permanently occlude a ves• sel, leading to the described clinical manifestations. The syndrome appears to be prominent especially in patients with unexplained arterial vascular occlusions. Keywords: Platelets,

  • Diagnosis of Inherited Platelet Disorders on a Blood Smear
    Journal of Clinical Medicine Article Diagnosis of Inherited Platelet Disorders on a Blood Smear Carlo Zaninetti 1,2,3 and Andreas Greinacher 1,* 1 Institut für Immunologie und Transfusionsmedizin, Universitätsmedizin Greifswald, 17489 Greifswald, Germany; [email protected] 2 University of Pavia, and IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Foundation, 27100 Pavia, Italy 3 PhD Program of Experimental Medicine, University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-3834-865482; Fax: +49-3834-865489 Received: 19 January 2020; Accepted: 12 February 2020; Published: 17 February 2020 Abstract: Inherited platelet disorders (IPDs) are rare diseases featured by low platelet count and defective platelet function. Patients have variable bleeding diathesis and sometimes additional features that can be congenital or acquired. Identification of an IPD is desirable to avoid misdiagnosis of immune thrombocytopenia and the use of improper treatments. Diagnostic tools include platelet function studies and genetic testing. The latter can be challenging as the correlation of its outcomes with phenotype is not easy. The immune-morphological evaluation of blood smears (by light- and immunofluorescence microscopy) represents a reliable method to phenotype subjects with suspected IPD. It is relatively cheap, not excessively time-consuming and applicable to shipped samples. In some forms, it can provide a diagnosis by itself, as for MYH9-RD, or in addition to other first-line tests as aggregometry or flow cytometry. In regard to genetic testing, it can guide specific sequencing. Since only minimal amounts of blood are needed for the preparation of blood smears, it can be used to characterize thrombocytopenia in pediatric patients and even newborns further.
